government did this with libya. basically arming the opposition. and you know, your men ri's men ri is only my friend for so long. is that a wise approach? >> no. i have spent time on this issue. there's no doubt providing nonlethal communication support is extraordinary important and secretary clinton announced massive amount of humanitarian assistance and ku dos to the administration for doing that. the real problem here is that there's this struggle within the romney campaign itself over syria between neo-conservatives to militarily intervene and those who actually are more reticent and the problem is that mr. romney flip flops between one group and the other and can't quite decide which one is more important. the bottom line, however, for purposes of american interest in the middle east, arming a rag tag group of rebels at this point in time is inconsistent with understanding when's going to emerge of syria in the long run. one of the reasons why i'm reticent is because we don't really know who the rebels are. some of them are affiliates of al

every $10 the federal government comes up with, the local government's got to give a dollar. now, here's the thing. when 9/11 happened in new york city, they waived the stafford act. said this is too serious a problem, we can't expect new york city to rebuild on its own. forget that dollar have you to put in. here's $10. that was the right thing to do. when hurricane andrew struck in florida, people said, look at this devastation. we don't expect to you come up with your money, here. here's the money to rebuild. we are not going to wait for to you scratch it together because you are part of the american family. what's happening down in new orleans? where's your dollar? where's your stafford act mony? makes no sense. tells me the bullet hasn't been taken out. tells me that somehow the people down in new orleans, they don't care about as much. >> greta: now, that was part of the speech that was not reported on in the 2008 presidential campaign. other parts were covered, but they were still controversial. one example, then senator obama, praising his controversial pastor reveren

additional grant for the federal government. had a white politician done this to a white crowd crowd, saying a black president was denying funds to a white section of the country as not part of the community, the press would tear him alive. if you don't believe me, ask trent lott. >> is it also the way president obama was speaking? did it raise his eyebrows to you and it shows president obama is different than the way he regularly portrays himself? >> anderson, i'm from louisiana, if i were talking to you the way i talked to friends back home, you wouldn't be able ton me. >> my dad is from mississippi. >> this is a politician pandering to a crowd. george bush would sound more southern below the mason/dixon line. and the right still lamb upons hillary clinton for trying to put on an accent. politicians on both sides do that. >> roland martin what do you make of this obama video? >> i think it's utterly laughable that sean hahnity, daily caller and the rest of these folks are making this out to be significant. something written on

government is the largest buyer. the as a result of that one provision distorts our economy, is that it was estimated that american taxpayers pay something like a half a trillion dollars over ten years to the drug companies. those are rents. in other words, unnecessary payments that go from one party to another. >> rose: you have argued in this book, you argue, you just said it, you argue that the 1% as it gains political power, it uses it to protect itself from the market and from competitive factors. >> that's right. and you can see it in all sorts of ways. >> and to seek better tax policy that increase as well. >> tax policies, for instance, an example is speculators are taxed at half the rate of those who work for a living. and to me the sounds and is unfair but also distorts our economy. because it means we encourage more resources, human and financial resources to go into speculation rather than to wealth creation. >> rose: so what does this do to our, you talk about the moral issues and to the moral fabric. >>

and leadership/governing style. and by a pretty wide margin going in right now, the voters expect president obama is going to outdebate his opponent, but both men have taken great pains to downplay their own chances, downplay the expectations. our dan lothian is up very early at the university of denver. and, dan, i understand this is the fourth time that these two men have really ever encountered one another in person. is that expected to have any effect when they meet each other on stage? >> well, certainly this is not someone who the president spent time with in the senate, has not spent a lot of time talking to him, and when they debate tonight, for 90 minutes, it will be the most time and the longest time that they have spent interacting at all. so it is an unusual, i guess, setting if you will for the president and governor mitt romney. but nonetheless, they're getting ready for this big event, the last couple of days they have been doing these mock debates, going through every possible question that will be a
